SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HEIDENHAIN introduces a new sealed angle encoder that can be used as an alternative to modular angular encoders for use in motion control machining applications that ...

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

The RESM encoder features a large diameter, low-profile stainless steel ring that mounts directly to the machine shaft, avoiding coupling losses, oscillation, shaft torsion and other hysteresis errors ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

For those needing contamination-resistant encoders with functional safety (FS) for machine feedback, HEIDENHAIN introduces the ECM 2400 absolute modular magnetic angle encoder. Schaumburg, IL, April ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

Suiting a wide variety of rotary-motion systems, spindles, and other motors, the ERA 4×80 bearingless angle encoder mounts using a centering collar. The hollow-shaft encoders are available in seven ...

Sendix F5868 and F5888 encoders complement the company's F multiturn family of products with robust high-resolution CANopen encoders with a through hollow shaft up to 15 mm, for a compact size of only ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

Lowering the overall automotive carbon footprint and enabling vehicles to harness lost energy drives the automotive industry today. Due to this worldwide push, manufacturers are now investing in new ...

Tachometers directly report angular speed. Some are simple processors that merely digest output from an external sensor or encoder; others are integrated units that combine an encoder or sensor and a ...
